Quiz team at table to one side (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

askew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to one side' is the definition.
(askew means not straight)

'quiz team at table' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'quiz' could be 'ask' (quiz can mean to ask a question) and 'ask' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for askew that I've seen before include "Not straight or level, crooked" , "Oblique" , "Leaning to one side" , "Not true" , "Wonky" .)
